Valentines Gift

I bought you just one white rosewith velvet petals and such sweet scentas flowers may in full blooming hold, with a blush of pink, not shy or bashfulbut proclaiming bold, such beauty to behold, imbued with such freshness that delights the sightand a tenderness to touch, that touch delights.

What more could be said by wordsor bouquets of thoughts diverseresplendent with poetic versethat might a myriad of qualitiesseek to evoke, from I that spoke; to you.

No just a single rose, a single beauty's eye, for what is love if it cannot be expressedby just one perfect rose, the one that's best, and has no comparisonwith any less.

Scatter ye petals while ye may, for love can be afleeting. Lovely write David, and yes, a rose does mean so much more, especially on Valentine's Day, and white is lovely and means purity.
